Take Me To Your Reader

A Murderbot, not THE Murderbot (Weapon/Solo)

00:00 /

This time we hit Robert Mason’s 1989 military/AI novel Weapon, adapted to a pretty terrible 1996 movie named after the main character, Solo.

Colin reached out to the author and got him to do some Q&A, which we sprinkle in through this episode.

It’s a tricky eBook to find. I guess I found it from Barnes & Noble a while back, but right now I don’t see it in the store. The book is excellent and worth tracking down.

Colin references the afterword from the book that’s available on the author’s page:
